The Agricultural Society Fair is a great way for the Martha's Vineyard Garden Club to show its creative side while supporting the Fair and our Island Community!

The Pics below show the Garden Club's exhibit at the AG FAIR in 2015, designed by Mary Lou Perry (West Tisbury VP at the time). It took FIRST PLACE in the category of Adult Island & Special Exhibits!

The Ag Fair theme in 2018 had something to do with remembering or respecting the past.
We collected antique farm implements, old seed packets and the like, and traditional time honored farm ways like using seaweed and straw for mulch, and worms. Below is a pic!

Here's a pic of the display the MV Garden Club did in 2019...The theme in 2019 was " All Roads Lead to the Fair, Sea You There." The Ag Fair Committee collected garden animals from club members and had them all lined up heading to a photograph of a sign post giving directions to the fair.
The photos below are from the Ag Fair display done at the Fair last year, August 2021.

Here are some words about the Garden Club's participation in the Fair from long-time Ag Fair Committee member, Irene Ziebarth...
(and thanks for the pics, Irene!)
It's such fun to be part of the fair with the MVGC. Everyone loves us and our displays. All of the participants in the fair pitch in to help each other like giving us straw when I brought fresh seaweed when we needed dried, or giving us 2 x 4s and sawing them to the length we needed to level out our display, or bringing us a ladder and going up to hang lights. It's an incredible branding tool for us and every year we've had MVGC members from all six towns helping out. Once entered, we qualify for ribbons and a cash prize in the non-profit category. Whenever we've entered, we've won!
